Elsie has been a good girl and wearing her braces when it's time.

She wears them every day for about 15 minutes or so....

We switch every other day for every other leg.

Both braces at the same time are a bit overwhelming.

And the knees rub together in an annoying way for her too.

So one at a time works best.

I put the compression socks on both legs this time, because last time the Velcro rubbed an ouchee on the other leg.

She walked up and down the hall a few times with the brace on.

She is doing so good.

I am glad she is willing to wear them.

Because if she wasn't willing to do it, there really is no way to put them to use....

So I am very proud of her.

It is interesting to watch....the leg not wearing the brace tends to NOT over extend just like the one that has the brace.

So that's cool.

So I went to the gym this morning after Dad left for work.

Then the kids and I cleaned the house together.

Port took his nap and I ran a few errands.

Then when Port woke up, we headed to the Young's house.

We swam for a while.....a long while :)

Port got some one on one swim lessons from Heather.

He did really good.

Except he is stubborn.

He thinks he already knows what she is trying to tell him.

He will stick his head in the water in the middle of her telling him something.

Little stinker.

If he would just listen and do what she says, he would rock.....

But he is a stubborn, stubborn boy who thinks he knows it all.

But I do think he learned a lot from her....Heather, you just need to give him more little lessons like that.

I think he's got what it takes :)

He KNOWS he's got what it takes.

After some swimming we had breakfast for dinner.

While we were making dinner, Port found the packaging from some goggles Heather had bought.

He was adamant about getting some tape and some string to make them into some spy glasses for himself.'He mad to have the white goggle part flip up and down....that was the part that made them x-ray glasses.

Of course.

Silly boy.

They didn't look too bad on him.

The kids all ate good and then they got to get back in the pool for a few more minutes before we had to head home.

So it was a good day.

I didn't hear from Dad all day except for a couple minutes ago.

He had a busy day.

Hope he can get some sleep tonight!
